So basically within 100ft there will be two traffic lights and the RR crossing. There's supposed to be another light going in at the first Honeycutt, north of the tracks. I sure hope they don't screw up the timing.

Don't cross the tracks until your vehicle<img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/blush.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Blush' align='absmiddle'> can clear the tracks. Hello

Darwin award. Why would you stop on the tracks? Because the person in front of you is stopped? Back at you

Then you were following too closely. There a similar situation on University Dr near ASU, I went through there dozens and dozens of times and no one got stuck on the tracks.

here here on the north of the tracks! I am so glad I only have one stop light to deal with (RED/Cobblestone) and it's not even really dealiing with it either. I can't imagine fighting with those tracks each day!

I think we are posting to a pretty much dead thread, but I do have some thoughts to share. Luceee or whoever; I think you are thinking about the 347 and Casa Blanca light that had been up for months, but has yet to work, and to the other posters; Someone WILL get trapped on the tracks while the light is red. In fact, I bet the accidents and fatalities will quad-druple. Again, very poor planning on this city government. The Casa Grande Highway needs to be rerouted to curve about a mile east of 347 and head northwest, and come out at either where they tore down the Mercantile, and proceed north and come out at Smith Enke. That 3 point by Napa needs to go away. I can't believe our city planners or ADOT, whoever is doing this idiotic planning. Just because there has been a stop sign there for years and years, does not mean that today it has to be a light. Maybe good even 8 years ago, but TODAY?? DUH!!! WRONG!!! Just goes to show: "YA Can't Fix Stupid. (no matter how much they get payed. Peed off Granny!!!
